Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Cancer / March 2005pain status
had an interesting procedure today. Kaiser runs a pain clinic. they tried a procedure called an intercostal block deadening a couple of nerves that serve the areas where most of my pain is. today they did a temporary fix to determine if they had found the right area. If they were successful, I go back Apr 4 to make it permanent. On the second one they tried, I announced "bingo" the minute the needle went in. The sensory reaction I had told me that they had found exactly the right place, and let them know it so that they could flag it for next time. It is now sneaking up on 1900 MST, after the procedure was done around 1500 MST. I had my regular morphine this morning, and my regular Ibuprofen at noon. nothing since. on normal days i would be thnking about my second round of oxycotin by now. I can hardly wait for Apr 4.

The minor operation yesterday was intended as an experiment to determine whether they had identified the right place and whether their fix actually eased the pain. They warned me that it wouldn't last much more than 8 hours this time out. Since I slept until 3 AM, I'd say that it lasted closer to 12 hours. I'll take it. Apr 4 an operation will make it permanent, now that they know for sure which nerve was causing the pain. Left side, 10 rib, a finger or two out from the spine. I am revamping my web site today. I'll update the blog at some point in the proceedings to give more details. I brought home a copy of the fluoroscope pictures, but they didn't scan very well.

Give me a couple more hours. It is noon MST right now. Figure on 2200 GMT I'll have the blog up to date. In other good news, Figgertoes got a job.

You can breathe a little now. A job with money?

Very definitely the nerve associated with the left 10 rib was the crux of the problem. They are going to permanently deaden it on Monday.
